While walking and chatting, they had already walked to the workshop area of ​​Curieguan. The guards were relatively tightly guarded and were a closed area. The wooden fences separated them from other places. There were guards holding spears at the door, and there were also a group of soldiers stationed inside to protect the safety of this area. Bai Yucheng had been in Curieguan for a long time and could pass through other places freely, but he had never been to this area before.

"You go this time and you have a great chance of facing the Zhao army. The Zhao army is still very competitive, and their cavalry is not bad. Have you ever considered putting armor on your soldiers? The Zhao army is always wearing armor. Whether it is infantry or cavalry, when facing them, your soldiers without armor will suffer a loss."

"Putting armor?" Gao Yuan laughed, "Do you think I have this strength? How much iron does it cost to wear armor and I have this money, so why not hit two more knives and more arrows? I have tried my best to give everyone every leather armor."

"That's right, in fact, except for their standing troops, other countries do not have the money to equip. Your troops are pretty good." Bai Yucheng nodded and said, "But after wearing armor, the combat damage rate of the troops will indeed be greatly reduced."

"From the future, when I have money, I will definitely put on armor for the soldiers."

The two of them walked into a workshop casually, and at the door he heard a jingle sound. As soon as they stepped into the door, a heat rushing in the face. Even though it was cold outside now, there was still a wave of heat inside. More than a dozen men in the house were naked and sweating. Some people danced hammers and beat the red-burned iron bars on the iron felt, and some were pulling the huge bellows desperately. When Gao Yuan came in, everyone respectfully bent down to salute him.

"Hello, the county magistrate!"

Gao Yuan waved his hand, "You guys are busy with you, don't worry about me, I just take a look."

Bai Yucheng walked to the corner of the house, where there were a group of steel knives that had passed through the fire. He picked up one and looked at it carefully. The fine lines on the blade surprised him a little. He put down the knife in his hand and lifted another one. The same was true. Looking at a few more, the handles were the same. "Master Gao, you craftsmen are very attentive. The quality of these knives is quite good. After opening the edge, you are afraid that ordinary armor will not be able to withstand its chopping."

More than a dozen craftsmen in the house heard Bai Yucheng's praise. Although they didn't say anything, they all showed a proud look in their eyes. The knife was indeed done with their hearts. The leader smiled honestly, "Mr. Gao is our benefactor of Fufeng. With Mr. Gao, we Fufeng people are no longer worried about the attack of Donghu people. Besides, the wages given by Mr. Gao are the first to pay. If we don't do it with our hearts, then we are still humans." He smiled and bent down to carry some black stones and threw them into the stove. As the bellows were pulled, the black stones suddenly burst into blue flames.

"This is carbonite!" Bai Yucheng's attention was on the knife before, but he didn't pay attention to what was burning in the stove. At this time, he saw the foreman's actions and couldn't help but say in horror: "Master Gao, this thing is poisonous and unusable, and it will kill people."

Gao Yuan laughed, "It's poisonous, but as long as it's well ventilated, it's fine."

The foreman continued: "At first we didn't dare to use it, but Gao Dadi himself used this thing to burn fire. It's okay to stay in it all night. If we dare to use it, let alone, the firepower of this thing is much stronger than wood, and it has been burned much. We can hit the knife to this level, and this thing has also made great contributions and saved us a lot of effort. Oh, Gao Dadi called him coal."

"There are so many things around Curie Pass, so it's easy to get it, and it's more affordable than cutting firewood." Gao Yuan smiled, but he was thinking in his mind that after the battle, he would get out coking coal and use coking coal to make better steel. In this most primitive method, there are still too many impurities in the knife and its flexibility is far from enough.

In the era of cold weapons, a good knife is the second life of a soldier.

Looking at this strange-shaped knife, Bai Yucheng waved it casually, "If the infantrymen had one hand, even when facing the cavalry, they would have the power to fight. A person with enough power would be able to slash such a knife, even if they waved this knife, they might even be able to cut off the horse's head."

"What is important is not the knife, but the courage to face the enemy. Let's go and take a look elsewhere!" Gao Yuan walked out with a smile.

"Sir Gao walked slowly!" Behind him, the voices of blacksmiths came.

Gao Yuan reached behind and shook his hand.

Bai Yucheng walked along with Gao Yuan and looked. Along the way, there were about a dozen blacksmith workshops like this, each with more than ten people. If each person could make a knife a day, then Curieguan would make more than one hundred such high-quality good knives. This speed was very good.

"Let's go, let's go to the warehouse to see where Tiancheng is taking stock. This time, the soldiers who followed me to fight will change into new clothes. The weapons produced by Curie Pass recently are much better than before." Gao Yuan said.

"Everyone brings the veterans?" Bai Yucheng asked. This time Gao Yuan went out, it was very dangerous, so he naturally had to bring experienced veterans.

"Old Six New Fourth!" Gao Yuan made a gesture, "I have to be on guard against the Donghu people here too! The recruits also need to go through some battle formations to hone their skills."

"Your heart is so broad!" Bai Yucheng shook his head and smiled bitterly. At this moment, Gao Yuan still thought so far. It was still okay to be able to come back alive. He was also thinking about training a group of elite soldiers.

The warehouse is very large. Compared with the simple workshop, the construction of the warehouse is much more sophisticated. A thick layer of wooden boards is laid on the ground, and a felt carpet is laid to prevent these new weapons from being rusted. The swords with swords with edges are neatly tidied together, and the cold light is so strong that the swords here are much better than the swords in the workshop. After the sword is opened, the black back and the sharp edges of the swords reflect each other, which is daunting. The handle of the knife is inlaid with wooden handles and then wrapped in fine twine. Such a knife handle is easy to hold and is easy to exert force and absorbs sweat. It can be seen that the workers here are indeed very attentive, and the twine is wrapped very tightly.

Cao Tiancheng was commanding the soldiers to load the knives one by one onto the carriage parked outside, holding a pen in one hand and a tent sheet in the other, writing and drawing on it from time to time. When he saw Gao Yuan coming in, he just bowed slightly.

"Is this the crossbow you gave me?" The weapon in the warehouse attracted Bai Yucheng's attention. He walked over and picked up a handle, "Hey, it's a little lighter than last time!"

"It's a little lighter. The last time we went out, it was the first batch of finished products. After several months of development and improvement, the weight of this arm-opening crossbow has been reduced by a few kilograms. It doesn't take much effort to use it for soldiers." Gao Yuandao, although it only reduced some of the weight, its significance for soldiers on the battlefield is naturally self-evident.

"This thing is great!" Bai Yucheng raised his arms and looked at him carefully, "If it weren't for the thing you gave me the last time, I wouldn't have escaped from you. Unfortunately, after that battle, most of the arms and crossbows were lost."

"Tiancheng! Come here!" Gao Yuan called Cao Tiancheng and said to him: "When Brother Bai's brothers are injured, please equip them with a batch of new weapons. As long as Brother Bai takes a fancy to us, we can equip his brothers with it."

Cao Tiancheng let out a sigh and glanced at Bai Yucheng.

"How can you be so embarrassed!" Bai Yu was very excited. There were indeed many good things here. "We are not suitable for this kind of knife. Can you customize a batch for me?" He looked at Gao Yuan with some anxiety, and he felt that the request was a bit too much.

"No problem!" Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Tiancheng, wrote down, and turned around and asked Brother Bai to tell you their request, and you would like to tell the masters. Brother Bai, do you want this crossbow?"

"Of course, of course, I have to say it, but I'm a little embarrassed to speak." Bai Yucheng didn't care about his face. He could escape his life by relying on this thing, and naturally he knew the power of this thing clearly.

"Tiancheng, remember, I will give you the best choice for brothers in the future." Gao Yuan casually told Cao Tiancheng, not even looking at Cao Tiancheng's bitter melon-like face.

"How can I thank you for this? I'm not a polite person now!" Bai Yucheng looked embarrassed.

"Brother Bai, didn't you promise me that if Fufeng is in trouble after I left, would you definitely lend a helping hand?" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "This bento is the wage I paid you."

"But it's too heavy, and Fufeng may not be a problem!" Bai Yu became aware of it.

Cao Tiancheng quietly touched him and stood behind the two of them, "Bai Da, if you are really embarrassed, I have a job here. I wonder if you are willing to do it?"

"Why don't you do it?" Bai Yucheng said without hesitation. These days, he has brought about a hundred people to eat and drink in Curieguan. Gao Yuan also invited a doctor to live in Curieguan to treat their injuries. Now he promised to re-equip them with the best weapons. He claimed that he had a clear distinction between grievances and grievances, and he was simply uncomfortable without doing anything to repay him.

"We now have many caravans traveling between the Xiongnu and Donghu in both directions, but these two directions are not peaceful. If the Bai Da family is interested, I don't know if I want to give us a guard?" Cao Tiancheng looked at Bai Yucheng and smiled.

"Where is Donghu, I'm afraid I can't go. The Donghu people hate me to the core. If they go, they will be a bad thing. But there is no problem with the Huns." Bai Yucheng pondered.

"That's great!" Cao Tiancheng said happily: "Let's go to the Huns line, Bai Da's boss, you don't know that some Hun tribes are so poor that they sometimes make up our minds. In the past, Helanxiong sent someone to follow him, but now Helanxiong is gone, I'm really worried. If you, Bai Da's boss, follow me, I dare to send a caravan again."
